Kate's POV
I was drinking some water down at the river when I heard a scream of pain. I quickly turned around and ran back down the valley fearing that it was River that screamed. The tall grass was flying past me as I ran as fast as my paws and legs would let me. I reached where I last left River and I smelled blood as I got closer. I saw that River was sobbing, over what looked like another wolf.
"What happened?" I asked
"It's dad, he doesn't look good" She said tears in her eyes
I looked at the wolf that was below River and saw that it was in fact Humphrey
"Oh no! Humphrey" I said rushing over to him
"He doesn't respond, I tried" She said
I looked at his head and saw that he had four claw marks right onto of his head and it was bleeding quite bad.
"Go get my mom, she knows what to do, now!" I told her
She did what she was told and took off running back to where my mom and dad's den was. I tried my best to stop the bleeding and I could hear him breathing slightly.
"Hang in there baby, you're going to be okay. Just stay with me." I said
The sudden sound of growling caught my attention and I turned to see that a mountain lion was approaching me, I saw that one of its paws had blood on it.
"Oh you're going to pay for this" I said growling taking a defensive stance in front of Humphrey
The cat only growled at me ready for a fight, I didn't waist anytime and went straight for it's neck. I managed to get a grip on it and I bit down. The grip wasn't strong enough and it pushed me off, landed beside Humphrey hitting the ground quite hard. I got up just in time to see two blurs hit the felony sending it to the ground. I didn't know what the blurs were because I quickly got my jaws around its neck and ripped put its throat, making a clean kill. I ran back over to Humphrey and saw that Blaze and Polaris were there stopping the bleeding. It turned out that it was them who knocked the cat to the ground allowing me to kill it.
"You two are really brave" I said sitting next to them catching my breath
"Were a family, and as a family we watch out for each other" Blaze said
"But we need to get Humphrey some help, before we lose him." Polaris said
"I know I sent River to go and get my mom" I said
As if on calling River and my mom appeared out of the tall grass carrying leaves and herbs.
"Oh good your here, quick we need to stop the bleeding." I told my mom
"Alright" She said getting to work on healing him "So what happened?" She asked
"Well somehow a mountain lion clawed him on the head, the blow was strong enough to knock him out, and this is how I found him." I said
"I think he was trying to save me from being killed by it since dad hit with enough force to send me flying a few feet. I heard him scream in pain and when I turned around I saw that he was knocked out and bleeding, the mountain lion somehow disappeared and left him there." River said
"Well the good news is that he will live for sure" my mom said
"Oh thank god" I said
"But I'm sure he will be in some pain for a few days or so" She said
"Okay" I said
"I suggest you take him back to the den and let him rest until he wakes up" She said
"Alright, come on kids back to the den we go" I said picking Humphrey up and putting him on my back
When we got back to the den I laid him down in the back of the den and curled up beside him to keep him warm, while the pups and I had lunch and relaxed waiting for him to wake up.
